Wonderful experience for young girls 2 through 6 who are delighted by the Disney princesses. The stories and music will have them dancing around the room with active imagination.

I was alittle disappointed with this dvd as 2 of the stories were not animated "movies" but just someone reading the book. The book was on the screen and the pages flipped as a voice read it. Not very interesting for my dd. I can read to my dd. We wanted moving stories.

Absolutely terrible - like a bootleg

"This is the first thing I've let my daughter watch that I actually felt guilty for letting her sit through - instead of being interested and active, she fell into this slackjawed stupor, and I can't say I blame her.

There are four stories involving Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, and Cinderella. Each uses a combination of repurposed animation and new art to try to muddle through a short story. Not to put too fine a point on it - it's for kids after all - but the stories are all confusing, and completely out of character for each character. This makes it difficult for kids to digest easily, and you have to spend time narrating why Jasmine did this, or what's happening with Belle, and you end up trying to help this whole disaster limp along to a quick end.

The art is terrible also, and the only reason this matters is that it's an official Disney product. All this would be excusable if it were in the 2.99 bin at the supermarket, but this is the lowest, most crass grab for consumer dollars by Disney that I've ever seen.

Don't fall for it - even Return of Jafar looks like a classic next to this. You're better off getting a storybook to read to your little princess than this piece of soulless garbage."

Could have been better

"I am rather disappointed in Disney-they advertised this one for the longest time and my girls were soooo psyched to get it-I was going to wait till Christmas but I had a "$10.00 off when you spend $10.00" coupon-thank god I had the coupon otherwise I would have really been upset to spend the money on this. All Disney did was to transfer The little Mermaids Saturday morning cartoon from the Disney Channel onto the dvd and they did the same thing with the Jasmine story too. They did a cut and paste of pictures for the "Cinderella Story and the Belle story-which is not even a cartoon but more of a read along with the pictures. There are supposed to be 4 stories but actually there are only 2 animated stories.My girls do like it, but I could have just taped it on a vcr tape and saved myself the trouble and money. There is a craft on making a bracelet-but we could have done without that too. The new song by the Disney Princesses is great to listen to, but the video is also another one of Disney cutting up scenes from all the princess movies and pasting them all together to make the video. I would not recommend buying this dvd or vhs. You think that Disney would have done something new with the Disney Princesses...guess it is all about the money. Can you see the BIG "SUCKER" sign stamped on my forehead???? Well.... I would do (just about) anything for my 2 little princessess- except buy another Disney Princess movie unless it is a new princess they come up with."

Disney , home of the world's biggest RIPOFFS!

"I'm so glad I didn't spend money on this! I rented it from Netflix, but just the same, I feel cheated. Please pay attention to the common thread in all of these reviews posted so far... this is a money-grab of re-hashed and utterly lame content. It looks awful, too... like they created the DVD from some Disney employee's VCR tape of old episodes (and the only two animated stories here are just that - old episodes of previously broadcast junk). The only new animation here are the animated menus... and there's nothing special about them. Stay away from this one! I'm not looking forward to volume 2."
